so i played fallout NV right as it released and have uninstalled and came back 3-4 times at this point. I have made 30+ chars and kinda feel like i have 100%(ed) NV but i can't stay away. I need my NV fix >_> lol if i had to pick an addiction i guess it would be this XD. so i just reinstalled a couple days ago and remodded my game. I think i am at 105+ mods right now with no specialized mods cause i haven't picked my play through yet. so this time around i want help from other people on what my play through should be. i always play on VH with project nevada to make the game hard but in a actual difficult way but never hardcoe mode since it seems annoying and repetitive but i think this time i will be going VH/hardcoe. so i thought of an interesting way to play this time around and i am calling it "Getting Wasted." this involves you guys! this character is in your hands. so i need the criteria for him or her. also before i start here are some things i don't want. oh also i have ultimate edition so all the dlc's and pre order packs.

• i don't want suggestions like this: "BE NAKED THE WHOLE TIME AND ONLY USE A SWITCHBLADE!" that's not fun or difficult just dumb.
• I am not big on over powered items. so not keen on AMR or YCS.
• i like specialized chars so no jack of all trades or acceptable in everything great in nothing characters.
• i would like to do this play through siding with house or NCR since my last 2 play throughs were legion and yes man
• some perks i won't use are educated and comprehension. why dumb down the game?
• i want this play through to be fun and difficult without playing a gimp character.

so with that out of the way lets talk about what we need to get him/her started

1. Gender! (obviously)
2. Identity! E.G. chem addict, hit man, farmer, etc
3. S.P.E.C.I.A.L!(no 10's since there is no reason to put something that high)(i won't take my intel over 6 probably. after 6 you get way too many points then you need)
4. Skill points! what skills is this character using? probably 1 or 2 combat skills and 2-3(maybe 4) secondary skills(like science,etc) sneak is considered secondary imo.
5. Weapons! what weapons am i going for? am i using uniques? am i allowed to repair myself or do i have to take it to someone to repair for me? if i use guns am i allowed to use specialty ammo? for melee and unarmed are poisons acceptable?
6. Armor! what armor set should i use? clothing/light/medium/heavy/power armor?
7. Traits and Perks! i won't be playing this char till 50 so i don't need to plan that far ahead. mostly what traits should i choose and what perks are essential for this char? obviously i can't expect a full build written up by someone lol. also i use the mod more perks http://newvegas.nexusmods.com/mods/35979//? please check out that list of perks and traits as i use them also.
8. Factions! who am i joining and who do i hate? do i join good springs at the start or the powder gangers?
9. Karma! am i good or evil or neutral?
10. Followers! rex or ed-e? also do i take a human companion?
11. Quests! which quests are essential for this char? are some quests off limits?
12. Anything my character specifically does or doesn't? E.G. do i steal constantly? Am i a hoarder? Can i use chems? things like that.

I know this post is huge but i feel like we could really do something cool here! if anyone knows a good way to compile this or something please PM me and explain. i am not expecting to get a million replies but i really feel like this i a interesting idea. if i missed something that needs to be added let me know and i will edit and change or add it. oh i was also thinking if this works i could post and let you guys know how things are progressing.
